Item 16 is the gasket set (big gasket plus two for 3 spark plug holes each).
Item 7 is what I was calling a grommet (you need 15).
Item 13 seals around the filler cap. Might as well change it while you're in there.
When you get started, be really careful not to damage the hose that you have to disconnect at the front left corner. If you break that, you'll have a lot more work to do.
Look for DIY instructions in that E46 Fanatics forum. Just ignore all the childish stuff. I think the median age must be about 15.

Where in the UK are you? I'm going to Epping for Christmas. I could bring you a Red Cross package if you have a hard time funding stuff, and post it locally.
